What does an Alumni Ambassador do?
Engage with prospective and current graduate students and your school, in person or online.
Share your Maxwell knowledge and industry expertise with students to support career and professional development opportunities.
We will provide training for ambassadors to know the latest and greatest about Maxwell, as well as best practices on how to engage students, answers to common questions and more.
We want your feedback, too! As an alumni ambassador, you will have opportunities to weigh in on how to better recruit and retain graduate students at Maxwell, provide feedback on programming and ideas for new events.
